Line b has a slope of –7 8 . Line c is parallel to line b . What is the slope of line c ? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

1 answer

If line c is parallel to line b, then it will have the same slope as line b. Given that the slope of line b is \(-\frac{7}{8}\), the slope of line c is also:

\[ -\frac{7}{8} \]

So, the slope of line c is \(-\frac{7}{8}\).
